Official indeed. I just don't like the "you decide what counts" thing. It makes the discussion really irritating. I like definites, but we do what we gotta do.

As for the game, if it says we need to DT to progress, then it would be canon. A lot of the puzzles are a direct result of things happening storywise. I think the only things that don't count are battle barriers, orb based barriers, and secret missions.
